RE: V4R5 to V5R2 FTP script error

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Remember, the commands are sent to a server from a client.  Just because 
you could ftp to yourself, still breaks it up into two distinct jobs.  You 
cannot stop this via editing on the client.  The client could be a dos 
prompt on a PC.  Therefore how would the server know if the client was an 
interactive user or a batch job?

RE: V4R5 to V5R2 FTP script error






Didn't used to always be that way.  And it was determined that it was a 
security breach.  Evidently the ftp engine can't tell if the ftp commands 
are coming in from a script from within a program or being typed in by a 
user at a command line.  So, by changing the assumption from the former to 

the latter, at some release, you have tighter security.  Believe me, 
people figured out how to run commands they weren't authorized to via the 
command line using ftp.  I've been known to use RUNRMTCMD to start QINTER 
when a backup blew.

RE: V4R5 to V5R2 FTP script error






Almost went with the CHGCMD suggestion - it would have been a simple fix 
and I wouldn't have to modify the rest of the programs. But, we'd like to 
keep the limit on capabilities for command line usage. That's why I ended 
up using CHGCURLIB before the FTP and then CHGCURLIB back to *CRTDFT after 

the FTP in the submitted CL.

But, why does the CHGCURLIB in an FTP script read from a submitted job, 
act like it is from the command line?
Thanks again,
